Make sure it has new filters before you sign anything!!!!!!
There are some truely shocking photos on here of air filters which have been pulled out of ex rac vans which are totally compacted with dust and dirt. So they're not all well looked after!

That's down to the dealer who serviced it, when I got mine it had been out of the RAC for a while, I changed all filters as a matter of course and the air filter, although ready for a change, was not caked up like Duncmc's van. I think I would have let the RAC know that dealer was ripping them off.

I don't think mine had been re-sprayed as there are marks where the chevrons on the rear quarter had been cut.
